Life has gotten in my way recently. I am trying to get myself back into this Blogging thing. Also, I missed O.T.T. again last Thursday. I did think about it. I just didn’t do it. I am also wicked far behind in Photo101.

So today, Monday, I am going to combine O.T.T. with photo101. I am going to challenge my OCD by getting back into my assignments, but I will mix things up a bit and do the assignments out-of-order. I obsessed a bit when taking pictures of this Pop of Color I found. A bit more when it came time to edit. But, It was not to the point that I felt out of control. Just some minor anxiety that was easily managed.

This is progress. The big test will be whether I can stick with doing the assignments out-of-order. Please note that there are 3 pictures. Not 4 (down from 8). This is a big deal to someone with my kind of OCD.

Now that I think about it, had I ventured down to the water I could have taken care of Day Seven: Big & Point of View as well. Next time I will go to the bottom of the dam and look up.

I have done it again. Or not done it depending on how you look at it. I have been 100% distracted by life this past week or so. I thought about writing my Feature yesterday, but chose to lay down on my couch and rest instead. I have even neglected Photot101 as well. I hope to catch up with that this weekend.

What has me so distracted that I am neglecting my blog, You ask? I have been taking notes for a future story I may or may not write. That story might be about euthanasia. I only have notes so far, so i do not know where the story will lead me. I have experienced euthanasia 3 times. The first time I barely remember. The second time upset me. It is the third time I may write about. The third time was so very different from the first two.

So this is all you get for my Fridays version of Obsessive Thought Thursday. I am so very sorry I could not get you to laugh today.

This picture was originally published in Serenity Found Me, but it works so well for todays post.

solitude and peace Goodnight Sweet Prince. I no longer have to worry about you.

Then I went outside to take a short break from comforting my very old beagle. I found this.

My husband connected the deck chair to the trash barrel. then connected that to the laundry basket. Added a rake, creating a beagle blockade. All in the attempt to prevent the beagle from trying to go in the yard and crawl under the deck.

I totally was obsessed with other things that day therefore i completely forgot about my feature Obsessive Thought Thursday (OTT). Please forgive me and as punishment (yours and mine), I will post my latest song obsessions. Once in my head, they will not leave. Hope they do the same for you.

at least there are 4 of them….

someone said “that is the spirit” and wham this song got in my head

this creeped in on its own

very old, constantly and forever in my brain obsession

very new obsession that just started today. I should have the lyrics memorized shortly

I cheated again. I stole this picture from my husband. I then used picmonkey to get the effects I think you were looking for in this assignment. I see solitude here because if 2 birds show up at the same time, they dart at each other until they are alone.

“sounds like I get to decide???? Well, I went absolutely batshitcrazy with this assignment..”

After you snap your picture, rotate your camera and take a shot from the other orientation — horizontally if you first took the picture vertically, and vice versa.

“Yes, I went A.A.T.N. absolutely almost totally nuts. Remember, I have a camera we bought 4 months ago. I’ve been practicing with it a lot lately so, I pretty much know how it works. Then Monday, the darn husband insisted on buying me a smaht phone. More new stuff to learn, “I chose to take on the challenge.”

Good thing I did too. I was forced to upgrade regular PC stuff today and now I can’t upload my pictures from my new camera to my laptop like normal. So, all of these pics came from my new, never, ever wanted, smaht phone. Some of them actually do kinda tell a story.

Humor has gotten me through some very tough times. I depend on humor. One goal I have is to make someone smirk, smile, or laugh every day. Chuckles are good too.
